Blog page does not show extracts, but full entries
6 replies · Started by Mar on January 30, 2023
Hello,
I am currently having my blog as a static page, because when I change "Blog" to "Entries", it shows the full entries, not the extract (which is what I want), without the titles of the entries.
Could somebody please check it and let me know what I am doing wrong?
The page is https://martraduce.com
Thank you very much for any idea.
I can share temporary credentials if needed.
Keep well.

Hi Mar,
Not 100% sure if I understand.
Can you guide us to the Blog page in question?
I visited the Blog menu item but that's just a static page.
Hello again,
Yes, it is static at the moment.
If I go to the customization area and change the "Blog" page to be the entries (and thus, not static), it takes the two entries I have and creates a mess. I am not sure if I can send a screenshot of it?
I am wondering if you can check it if I give you the credentials to see the page from within? If you let me know if and when you can check it, I can put it in maintenance mode and go from there?
Thank you.
Keep well.

Can you take a look at this first?

Hello again,
Definitely, thank you. I will check it out after lunch and then get back to you with the results :-).
Thank you very much.
Keep well.

Hello again,
That definitely was the problem, thank you very much. I was going bananas thinking it had to be a really small thing which I was not doing properly... and it was :-).
I will try to go back and read the documentation slowly, but I was so blind I did not see that at all (also, I did not find that specific bit when searching for "Extract" [when I should, of course, use "Excerpt"], it just gave me the "Adding Local Fonts" section; maybe search could also use the mistaken words like this ;-)).
Thank you again :-).
Keep well.
Best,
Mar
Glad I could help :)
